Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The phrase percentage of variance refers to the amount of variation among a group of people, or in other words, the amount of difference in the measure being studied among the participants. It tells the researcher how much variability exists in the data, which can be helpful in identifying patterns or relationships. It does not indicate anything about the genetic or environmental influences on the trait or variation within an individual.
